how does one deal with a partner with Alzheimer's who refuses to acknowledge that he has anything more serious than a 'bit forgetful'?
Everything I read seems to assume the sufferer acknowledges the disease and wants to help themselves and their carer. We visit the Dementia Nurse every six months, and it is a struggle to get him to even do that, but I can't imagine he will ever accept respite care or home carers or even being financially assessed .
Anyone got any ideas what I should do? Thank you for your help.
